Background: Histoplasmosis is a rare infectious condition with mainly pulmonary involvement. Disseminated histoplasmosis may occur in immunocompromised condition. It can present in different ways but jaundice and ascites is very uncommon.

Molecular characterization of small indigenous fish species (SIS) of Bangladesh through DNA barcodes.

The mitochondrial DNA gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) has been adopted as a global bioidentification system for animals. This study represents the comprehensive molecular identification of small indigenous fish species (SIS) of Bangladesh assessed by DNA barcoding. DNA barcodes were generated from 81 SIS species belongs to the orders Clupeiformes, Cypriniforms, Siluriformes, Perciformes, Synbranchiformes, Beloniformes and Tetraodontiformes representing 55 genera and 24 families.
